Muhammadu Buhari Didn’t Fail As Nigeria’s President – Chris Ngige

The immediate past Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige has come out to insist that Muhammadu Buhari was not a failure.

He recently revealed that he was part of the government and witnessed projects carried out by the administration, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, the completion of the Second Niger Bridge, school feeding programmes, and Enugu Airport, among others, are some of the successes accomplished by the last administration.

He added that his faction remains the authentic APC in Anambra, and there is no crisis in the party.

His words, “It is not true that the Buhari administration was a failure. I was part of the government and the administration completed a lot of projects including the Second Niger Bridge, school feeding programme and numerous railways across the country.

There is APC one and two in Anambra State. I won’t deny that fact. I am the father of APC here, I am the face of APC in Anambra State and I know for certain that we have newcomers who have been coming since the year 2021 and because the party is like a church, you don’t stop people from entering a church to seek salvation, so also you can’t stop people from entering a party to support government in power.

We allow everybody but there is a segregation already because the new members don’t want to reckon with the old members who have laboured for the party from the time we were SDP to ACD, AC to ACN and then finally liberated as APC when we collapsed with NNPP and CPC. These are facts, and I don’t like denying things are facts.”

Don’t worry for us, this is politics and in politics, you disagree to agree. One day if you don’t agree, you bear the consequences. We didn’t agree in the 2021 election and the result was clear in Anambra State.

I am optimistic that APC will take over in Anambra come 2025 for if you are not optimistic in life, then you go and commit suicide. So, optimism is with us. It is our watchword in APC. We have not done what we are supposed to do here but I am hopeful that between now and 2025, when the governorship election will be held in Anambra, we will have put our house in order and take over from APGA.”
